Pinkfresh Studio “Kindness in Bloom” Release Blog Hop

 Good morning! Today is the blog hop to celebrate Pinkfresh Studio's "Kindness in Bloom" Release! You aren't going to want to miss a stop along the way - TONS of inspiration and prizes up for grabs! YAY! Click HERE to shop the new release!


We also have TWO freebie options available for this release! You can choose either a FREE Wildflower Slimline stamp set OR a Pinkfresh branded Frosted Glass Spray bottle with any $50 order!


As usual - I have a few cards to share today with the new release!


First up, I have this set of two cards featuring the new Framed Art set, paired with a couple new Essential Frame dies that are part of the release! The new Dotted Fancy Frames and Fancy Rectangle Frames dies are so fun and versatile, and paired great with the Framed Art set! I mixed in some colored cardstock, as well as glitter cardstock to build my art pieces, and used Dotted Chevron coverplate on my ivory cardbase. A few clear drops finish this one off!






Next up - moving from modern and bold, to soft and romantic!


For this card, I used the new Kindness in Bloom set, which has a great modern feeling to it! I used that Fancy Rectangle Frame again on this one, and added a few floral pieces from the Garden Party dies cut from more glitter cardstock. I also added some banners for the sentiment from Basic Banners, and used that same Dotted Chevron coverplate die on the cardbase. A few of the new Iridescent Dew Drops finish this card off!







And we all need a good set that can be used for masculine cards, am I right?


I absolutely love the Mountains stencil set, as well as the trees stencil and die set. I'm an outdoor woods girls - so these two sets just make me so happy! I did this one in all masculine colors of blues and greens - and this set is PERFECT for using the newer large blending brushes - makes it so fast! A few Enchanted Forest Ombre Glitter drops finish this card off!






Finally, a soft rainbow for this card!


This card features the new Blooming Arch set. I blended it in soft rainbow tones top to bottom, then mounted it with a million tiny pieces of foam adhesive (because I'm crazy - haha!). I used an ivory cardbase, and then tucked some more of those Garden Party die cut pieces, this time from a mix of Ivory glitter cardstock and white cardstock. I added a few Clear Drops to embellish this one!

Just to say Hello - Pinkfresh and SB dot com Exclusive

 Good morning! Dropping by to share a card using some Pinkfresh Studio supplies - including the special new Simply Sentiments stamp set that was is one of the current promotions at Scrapbook.com - and is available as a free gift with any purchase for the next couple of days, or while supplies last! You can click HERE for more details! There are also some other promos going on - you can check all those out HERE


I paired one of the fun sentiments with some other supplies from Pinkfresh Studio. I used the Dotted Chevrons coverplate die to create some texture on my white cardbase. Since it doesn't have outer cut lines, I was able to position it so that it only added texture to the top two thirds of the cardbase, leaving the bottom free to stamp my sentiment, and wrapping around some Ivory jute twine and tying in a bow. The florals were hot foiled using the Beautiful Day set, and colored in with the coordinating layering stencils. I die cut with the coordinating dies, then tucked them around a frame cut with Stitched Scallop Rectangles cut from Aqua glitter cardstock. Finished off with my sentiment, stamped in Detail Black, and embellishing with a few Ice Clear drops. Here are more photos of this finished card:

Circles and Leaves Birthday Cards - Simon Says Stamp

  Good morning! Stopping by today with a couple cards using some supplies from Simon Says Stamp - do you ever have those moments where you sit down to make one type of card, and end up with something entirely different? Well, that is what happened with these cards! They were supposed to be Christmas cards - and instead ended up becoming birthday cards!


I started off with some Christmas pattern paper, and die cut it with a Nested Circle die. Since I chose a double sided paper, I folded one edge over to reveal the complimentary pattern. I added some jute twine and a criss crossed tiny staple to attach the twine and hold the fold in place. Those were popped up with foam adhesive on a white cardbase. I added some greenery using Lush Leaves die and some satin Honey Gold cardstock, tucking part of the design under the circle. Finished off with some stamped sentiments from Birthday Basics that I had sitting near my desk still from a couple other cards I made late last week. A couple of rounded corners, and a few tiny gems finish these cards off! Here are more photos:

Birthday Candles Duo - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Release

I'm popping in today to share a couple cards using the STAMPtember release from Simon Says Stamp!  There were so many fun things in that release that I didn't have a chance to play with, and since yesterday was my youngest daughter's 20th birthday (EEK! How is that possible?!?) - I had fun creating a couple cards with a fabulous new die from the release.


I started off by die cutting lots of the new Sparkling Candles dies from various colors of Concord and 9th cardstock - choosing a lighter and darker shade of each color. I then alternated the detail and solid layer in the light and dark shades to get a reverse set of each one. I die cut the sparkle pattern on a panel of white cardstock, then layered the candles on foam adhesive over the top. I rounded one corner, then mounted that panel with foam on a white cardbase. Finished off with a sentiment from the previously released Birthday Basics set, and a few Clear Pawsitively Dazzling Gems! I love how these came out - and can't wait to play with this set more in the future! Here are more photos of these finished cards:
